America's Sweetheart (album)
''America's Sweetheart'' is the debut studio album by American alternative rock musician Courtney Love, released worldwide on February 10, 2004 by Virgin Records. Her first official release after her former band Hole's break-up, the album's sound diverged significantly in musical and lyrical content to Hole's three previous studio albums: ''Pretty on the Inside'' (1991), ''Live Through This'' (1994) and ''Celebrity Skin'' (1998). The recording process of the album began in summer 2001 in Los Angeles, California, however, was affected drastically by a number of personal and legal issues by Love; including her drug problems, the disbandment of Hole, the controversy surrounding Nirvana's upcoming box set, and legal problems with various record labels. In spring 2003, Love traveled to southern France to re-record the album, however, according to Love, she "just wanted to be in a château for six months and do drugs."〔Love, Courtney. "I just wanted to be in a château for six months and do drugs, so, I just wanted to do that." Extract from a transcription of an interview featured in ''Behind the Music: Courtney Love'', broadcast on VH1 on June 24, 2010.〕 The album had three main producers, one of whom, James Barber, was Love's partner at the time.
Following recording, ''America's Sweetheart'' was further delayed due to Virgin's excessive input on the album's mastering, art work and design, and track listing. Upon its release, it received little promotion, with the main source of media exposure being a music video for the album's first single, "Mono," and Love's highly publicised drug issues. Although received well amongst critics, ''America's Sweetheart'' was a commercial failure, selling little over 200,000 copies in the United States, and with Love further citing the album as "a mistake." In more recent years, both Love and producer Linda Perry have referred to the album as "le disaster"〔Forbes, Jim. "Courtney herself called the album 'le disaster.' It seemed her life was headed down the same path." Extract from a transcription of narration featured in ''Behind the Music: Courtney Love'', broadcast on VH1 on June 24, 2010.〕 and "ruined because () was coked out,"〔Perry, Linda. "A lot of heart went in to it and it got ruined because her and her friend were coked out. And that is the truth, that is a fact." Extract from a transcription of an interview featured in ''The Return of Courtney Love'', broadcast on More4 in September 2006.〕 respectively. The album featured drumming from former Hole drummer Patty Schemel, as well as guest instrumentation and vocals from Emilie Autumn.
